Let me start off by reminding you how much we all take the smallest things for granted. I think that my bed is the one that suffers most from that sort of abuse. Never will I forget how much my bed means to me. I left early Wednesday morning to drive to Toronto and I just got back. The thing that I missed the most was my bed. The food that I ate was amazing - a lot better than what I can make - but the sleeping arrangements cannot compare to the comfort of my own home.
However, I wanted rest and recovery, and I got it. I am sore all over from exercising so much, and I'm so tired that I can barely keep my eyes open long enough to write this, but mentally, I am so much healthier than I was a week ago. I was able to stop worrying about everything for a full week and find myself. Along the way, I also found some new friends that have forever marked me and changed me in a profound way.
Each person has left their mark on me and has helped me grow as a person or learn something about myself. They all allowed me to change and step out of my comfort zone, do things that I normally wouldn't do, and discover all of the potential that I have within myself to be a different, better, person. Leaving these new friends - who had to return to all corners of the province after the retreat - was probably the thing that hurt me the most to do. It only took a few days, but I made bonds with people that I doubt will ever break, and I only hope that we can all keep in touch.
I haven't started writing down anything for the second book yet because I have been so busy, but I have a couple of good ideas, starring two of your favorite Promise characters. I can't tell you who, but I will assure you that two familiar faces will once again be present in Treason.
On that note, I am going to leave you, as I'm simply too tired to keep going. Check in again soon, and I might have posted some new stuff. As always, you can follow me on Twitter at @DianaK_books for more recent and frequent updates on the progress of Promise and now Treason.
I leave you with a picture of where I got to stay for a week in Toronto, in the hopes that maybe it will inspire you to go outside a little and enjoy the beautiful May sunshine.
Good night,
Di
Oh, and this week's song is We Are Young by Fun featuring Janelle Monàe
